Steve Sabol may just have the best job in the history of ever.
Yeah, I’ve been quiet about the kidnap and murder in Mineral Wells as well as the young missing mother case. I just really don’t know what to say. I haven’t had the emotional strength to visit my hometown in years, but I love and dream about the place all the time. It was just weird seeing the big MW on television. Excited to see it in the spotlight on one hand, but extremely sad to know they only reason it was on the news was because of tragic news.
Fatherhood has me reminiscing a lot lately about my upbringing in Mineral Wells.
As I wrote that last sentence all I could think about was a scene in one of the Austin Powers movies in which Dr Evil makes a statement about how his father claimed to have invented the question mark.
WifeGeeding’s birthday was on Saturday. My gift to her was knife cutting class at Central Market because she mentioned it was something that she would be interested in. That gift could come back to haunt me.
I turned in my man card on Saturday as we went to mall. WifeGeeding was busy trying on clothes here and there, so I pushed BabyGeeding around the mall in a stroller all by myself and somehow ended up in Bath and Bodyworks and actually buying something.
If it helps, I bought some highly recommended shaving cream. If you read the description of the product, it sounds like something Elaine from Seinfeld would write in the J. Peterman catalog.
Yes, I know, I’m a shaving snob. Have a mentioned the greatness of the safety razor?
I was talking to a friend about church-made movies (he's got a degree in film from USC). He hadn't seen Fireproof, but I told him it was the best Christian movie I'd seen. Unfortunately, it was a so so movie in general. It's like seeing an Elementary school art show. You can see a kid's work and think, "That is a great kid-artist." When you place him next to Rembrandt or Picasso, it looks bad. Up until the enlightenment, all great art was created in the Church. I wish it was the same way today, but now art in the church is often sub-par (that's changing, but now it's still sub-par).

I'm Dutch and Reformed and live in a Dutch Reformed Bible Belt in Michigan. Thanks for posting this!
